  • Ohlins Replacement Shock - Tl1000s

    Down and Dirty Questions.


    Do the Ohlins or Penske shock for the TL1000s include the rear spring (Coil Over)?

    Or Some do and Some don't?

    If they don't can a spring be retrofited?

    Is there even an Advantage to having a spring and shock one unit?

    Thanks,

    -DSH

    Our TL1000S shocks were made with a seperate damper and spring setup.
    The TL1000R ohlins/penske shock is all one unit but I looked at my friends penske and it doesn't look like it would mount up the same and have enough clearance all the way around.

    I went with the ohlins (due to a great deal on a brand new one from ebay)... but it is still the seperate setup.
    Just a few mods:

    Silver, the fastest color!

    On the outside - TLR forks, front carbon fender, 5/8th master brake cylinder, black SS brake lines (frnt & rear), braking waves all around with Ti bolts, Brembo gold front calipers & a busa gold rear caliper, flush mount signals (frnt & rear), ZG DB scr

      I think the Bitubo for the TLS is a coil over, and all the damper mounts remain unused.

          Never skimp on preformance when it comes to your two wheeled baby... (cages are much more forgiving).
